my phone won’t charge when the engine is off, so I assumed the Garmin cam would shut down which it appears it does. I’m not driving the Avalanche every day. So I replaced an old battery and the new one went dead. The only change has been adding the cam. I still need to pull out the volt meterYes, I believe both outlets are hot on my 2010. Do you have a voltmeter? it would be a quick test.
Strange that the cam would know to turn off though, perhaps it senses the voltage change?
Sorry it’s been awhile. We could not figure what the or where the draw was coming from. Added second battery, no issues so far. We’ll see how that goesI hard wired mine but it will stop recording if the battery voltage drops below a set level. I don't remember exactly but somewhere around 11.8 volts I think...
I also have aux/dual batteries and can start with the aux battery if the main battery is low, saved me a few times..

Good idea thanksHey,
Old thread but yes the outlets are always hot. You can use the AUX power box and a jump cable to move them to ignition only if you wanted. (I did that as my Garmin Cam kept draining my 08 AV)
